*The winner of the [[NFC East]] division will join the [[2010 Seattle Seahawks season|2010 Seattle Seahawks]] and [[2014 Carolina Panthers season|2014 Carolina Panthers]] as the only teams to earn a playoff berth with a record below .500 in a full season. This team will also tie the record (shared with the 2010 Seahawks) for the worst playoff-qualifying record in NFL history, 7–9 (.438).<!-- As two of the three remaining contenders face each other, at least one will win. --> This team will also have the distinction of having the worst record of any team through their first nine games to eventually earn a playoff bid, as all three remaining contenders had started the season 2–7. None of the 262 other teams who started a season with a 2–7 record <!-- including the 2020 Texans, Chargers, and the two teams that do not win the NFC East --> qualified for the playoffs.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cowboys-giants-or-washington-will-make-history-in-week-17-by-ending-historical-0-for-258-streak-by-nfl-teams/|title=Cowboys, Giants or Washington will make history in week 17 by ending historical 0-for-258 streak by NFL teams|first=John|last=Breech|work=CBS Sports|date=December 29, 2020|access-date=December 30, 2020}}</ref> |
